I think the simple example above could be improved, everytime I need to use this I copy the example, but then have to look back at the function parameters to work out which is the haystack and which the needle. If the example variable names were clearer then this would be unnecessary. I think the code example below would improve the documentation: $needle = 'the needle'; $haystack = 'look for the needle in a haystack'; if(stristr($haystack, $needle) === FALSE) { echo 'Could not find the needle.'; } if(stristr($haystack, $needle) !== FALSE) { echo 'Found the needle!'; } ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 202.161.31.148 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.stristr.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/103984 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103984/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103984/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103984/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103984/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103984/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103984/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103984 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/103984 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
